YouTube search has "Wonder Wheel" !! Has it been there for a while? If Not, it is now. Coooool
They had a warp.swf meme going around in reddit a couple of days ago. It was something like bubbles of videos where as you move your mouse over particular video it expands into more bubbles of related videos - sorta like video recommendation engine.

I knew it was on Google search but not on YouTube till I went to watch Lisa's video yesterday and decided to do some research and noticed it. Was it on Youtube since then? Never noticed it before, but hey, s**t happens :)
- Ron"micronet"Harwood
Wow that youtube search Wonder Wheel is too cool! (I just reread your original post Ron so deleted my previous idiotic comment).
- Isha (Marysia)
Noticed that some of the searches give the Wonder Wheel & others don't - weird :D
- Isha (Marysia)
Thanks for the link TrafficBug. That youtube hack was really cool
- Ron"micronet"Harwood
@Isha I noticed that it doesn't always show too. Maybe they are still tweaking it or maybe there isn't something relevant for it to spin off on with certain vids?? Just a guess.
- Ron"micronet"Harwood
it has been there for a while and it will only display info when it has relevant info to show.

His costs, however, are more impressive: it only takes $350,000 per year to run the business with 7 employees." This is a REALLY GOOD video with some direction where things are going according to Leo, Who Rocks.Gets the thinking cap spinning :)
